Pros

- Job security is reasoanbly well. - Most of the staff are hard working folks and you won't see many people surfing the net all day/talking about their shoes.

Cons

- A big sweat shop. - Responsiblities are very segmented, hence there is often no owner. - Risk control is excessive and the whole business (at least in my area) is process driven. Most of the processes are dumb and drive efficieny down. Because of the focus on risk and process, people usually avoid responsibilities and risk-averse. - Not willing to spend a cent on employee. - Heavy out-sourcer/off-shorer. - High staff turnover.

Pros

1. One of the best banks, heavy on tech and AI, that makes my life simple 2. Bonus is consistent every year 3. The company is highly social and multicultural. 4. A lot of training program to upskill and develop.

Cons

1. A lot of administrative items to take care of, a significant portion is spent on meetings, meetings are called to establish an agenda for next meetings, and so on. 2. Layoffs, all year round- sometimes significant, while in the middle of delivery. If your manager is off-site/ another city/country, you are more likely to be impacted. 3. Departments may have skewed gender or racial ratios. It is best to stay away to avoid discrimination (to be fair, this has less to do with culture and more to do with who the head of the department is).
